I read a prediction by Thomas Barnett; author of The Pentagon's New Map, regarding the public relations result of the 2008 Olympics for China. Unfortunately I have to quote him from memory since I can't find it on his blog: China will win the most gold medals. The logistics and overall process will go smoothly but the Chinese will consider the Olympics a failure because the world will be talking about the dirty air, the squalor and Dafur.
